A BIG DAY FOR THE DEMOCRATS

I was unable to attend the reorganization meeting yesterday at the Knights of Columbus, but with a vote of 45 to 24 my one vote would not have mattered anyway. Although I am disappointed that Marcey did not continue her role as party chair, I wish only the best for John.I would also like to congratulate Stacy Deck, Tony Toran, and Sam Locke. Another meeting which I was sorry to miss was the "Town Hall" session with Baron Hill. With health care being a major concern, Representative Hill and President Obama need to consider HR676, health care for all. I hope Mr. Hill will take our message back to Washington and persuade the president to quit listening to the insurance companies and start listening to the people. We just have to keep pushing.I would appreciate feedback from anyone who attended either of these meetings mentioned above. I have not yet talked with anyone with first hand information.thanks,Shirley

I attended the townhall meeting with Congressman Baron Hill. He talks out of both sides of his mouth. One minute he says one thing: The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will create and save 8,700 jobs in Southern Indiana and most workers will see tax cuts starting April 1. (WoW a whole $13.00 a week.) Then when he was confronted by taxpayers he said: "Matter of fact, I had some reservations about the stimulus plan myself." We're spending an awful lot of money, and we're borrowing an awful lot of money.

I'm with John Schellenberg: Most taxpayers want the federal government to learn how to say "no" to spending our country cannot afford.

Didn't Baron Hill vote against the troop surge and voted for restorning fiscal sccountability when Bush was in office? Here I thought he was a "blue dog democrat?" Hats off to Senator Bayh for standing up and will vote "no" on the next $415 billion porky package !!!!!!!!!
